Passing is mostly a sizing problem. The profit target is usually larger than the max loss, so the job is to survive long enough for your edge to show, without trading so small that the monthly fee eats you first.
Start from the max loss, not the target
On a 50K account with a $2,000 max loss, a trade that risks $400 means five losses in a row end the account. Losing streaks of five happen regularly even to good traders. Risking $200 gives you ten. Decide how many consecutive losses you want to survive, divide the max loss by that number, and size every trade from the result with a position size calculator.
Set your own daily stop
Stop for the day well before any firm daily limit. A personal stop at a quarter of the max loss means a bad day costs a quarter of your room, not all of it.
Know how your limit moves
With intraday trailing, open profit you give back still tightens your limit, so take partial profits or use smaller targets. With end-of-day trailing, only the close matters. Read how trailing drawdown works and check your firm's rule.
Respect the consistency rule from day one
If your firm has one, a single huge day can hold up your pass or payout. See consistency rules explained.
Test the plan before you pay
Put your win rate and average win and loss into the pass probability calculator. If it says you bust more often than you pass, change the size before you spend money, not after.
Count the full cost
Monthly rebills and resets add up. Use the true cost calculator and set a budget for attempts before you start.
